The rest of the reinforcement fleet was still moving forward slowly, and where they were now, they could already see the billowing smoke rising from several fortresses on the south coast, and faintly could see the sails of some Han ships.

In terms of tactical distance, the rest reinforcement fleet was still about forty miles away from the main battlefield at this time, but the fleet commander at this moment did not want to go any further. Based on the smoke of the fortresses he saw now, he could roughly judge from his experience that these fortresses were almost unable to hold on, and after all, he only had twenty warships on hand, so how useful could it be to drive over at this time? Do you go to the tiger's mouth and break two teeth down, or go to the jaw of the king of Yama and pluck a few beards down? I'm sorry, but this fleet commander really doesn't have such a high level of ideological awareness.

After thinking about it again, this guy decided to step forward a little bit more, show his face in front of the Han fleet, and fire a few shots from a distance and immediately flash people.

That's the way it is, Hassan didn't want to rescue the south bank, but he was really powerless, and the purpose of sending this fleet out was just to do a face-saving project, which meant nothing more than to turn around and tell people that I didn't want to save it, I really couldn't ask for it, don't you see that I sent the fleet out? I really can't beat people, you can't let me die, right? Of course, if a few Han ships could be lured into the artillery fire circle on the north shore and sunk, Hassan Keyin's words would be better said. And this, to put it bluntly, is a typical officialdom dispute, and Hassanke has to do something to pretend because he is good at talking in officialdom.

And in order to prove that he really can't be saved here, this reinforcement fleet always has to show up at the Han army, so the commander of this fleet is to order the fleet to advance cautiously, and at the same time also order all ships to be ready to turn around at any time.

He is smart, and the sailors on the ships are not stupid, and they all know what their boss has in mind. And these sailors have already seen a lot of smoke on the south bank, as long as they are not stupid, they know that the battle situation on the other side is not very good, and their own people rushing over will be sent to death, so they are also tacitly prepared to turn around at any time while advancing.

It's just that in this way, most of the attention of the reinforcement fleet is focused on the front, and there is a little negligence in the rear of the opposite side. But it was at this time that the forward assault clippers of Sun Shangxiang's fleet suddenly rushed out from the flank and rear of the rest reinforcement fleet, blocking the return and retreat of this rest fleet at a very fast speed. And because the rest of the reinforcement fleet was patronizing and watching the movement in front, there was a little negligence on the opposite side and the rear, so it was not until some of the assault clippers of Sun Shangxiang's fleet had already arrived at the designated position that the rest of the reinforcement fleet was shocked.

The commander of the reinforcement fleet was not stupid, as soon as he saw this situation, he immediately understood the intention of Sun Shangxiang's fleet, so he urgently ordered the reinforcement fleet to turn around and return immediately, and it was necessary to rush out before the assault clipper formation of Sun Shangxiang's fleet completely blocked their return channel. Are you kidding? If this is blocked, Huang Zhong's fleet can be divided into twenty or thirty warships to reinforce Sun Shangxiang's fleet at any time, and he will have to wrap dumplings in this resting fleet of only twenty warships.

As I said earlier, the rest of the reinforcement fleet is ready to turn around at any time, so at this time the ship turns around and falls quickly. In addition, these warships at rest are also equipped with steam power, although their power level is inferior to that of Lu Ren's steam, but there is always one, so the headwind driving at sea has little impact on the resting warships, that is, they can also directly choose the shortest straight route when necessary, unlike sail-powered ships that have to take a catwalk when they encounter a headwind.

In short, the rest of the reinforcement fleet turned around, and rushed over the assault clippers of Sun Shangxiang's fleet regardless of it, which means that if you don't give way, we will directly crash into the past. And these assault clippers of Sun Shangxiang's fleet were not to be outdone, and the artillery that had already been loaded with ammunition also began to pour shells into the rest reinforcement fleet.

In this way, the rest reinforcement fleet and Sun Shangxiang's assault clipper formation caught fire, and the number of ships in the assault clipper formation was not much, only a dozen, and it was actually very reluctant to stop the rest fleet that was bent on breaking the siege. But it doesn't matter, their task is just to block a road, just block it for a while, and the main fleet led by Sun Shangxiang has also appeared in the field of vision of both sides at this moment.

The commander of the Rest Fleet was really anxious as soon as he saw this situation. It has been said before that the five thousand Jiangdong children led by Sun Shangxiang and Zhou Yu, Lu Ren gave them the corresponding ships according to the establishment of the Yizhou Navy, that is, Sun Shangxiang and Zhou Yu have a total of five naval tactical formations, each formation is ten ships of one large, three, six medium and six small, and the five formations are fifty, and Sun Shangxiang's exclusive ships are not in the establishment of these five formations. Later, in several battles, there was a certain degree of loss of personnel and ships, but the number of losses was not large, so these five formations only reduced a few medium-sized ships and small ships, and the five main large warships plus Sun Shangxiang's ships were still there, and the total number was still more than 40.

More than forty against twenty, that is also more than double the advantage, not to mention that once there is a fight here, will Huang Zhong stand by and watch? Therefore, the commander of the rest fleet was anxious when he saw this situation, and the orders given to the ships of the fleet did not care about anything, and everything was based on rushing out as the first prerequisite.

As a result, on the one hand, there were some dogs jumping over the wall in a hurry, eager to escape, and on the other hand, there were Jiangdong's sons who were determined to stop the rest reinforcement fleet, and the two sides received the fire a little fiercely. When Sun Shangxiang saw this situation, he immediately ordered the main fleet to abandon the previous flank attack operation, and all the ships pressed up on the whole line to block the retreat of the rest reinforcement fleet.

Huang Zhong, who was indiscriminately bombarding the fortress on the south bank, also received the news at this time, and immediately ordered the ships on the outer wing of the siege fleet to rush over and encircle the rest fleet. At this time, as long as Sun Shangxiang's fleet can buy a little corresponding time, it can eat all the twenty ships of the reinforcement fleet here.

And such a news also reached Lu Ren, Lu Ren, who was still reading, glanced at Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu smiled, and ordered on behalf of Lu Ren: "Order Huang Zhong's fleet to change the siege of the city to encircle and annihilate the rest reinforcement fleet, and then order the second fleet to attack all of them, and make up for the siege position of Huang Zhong's fleet in turn!" ”

When the order was issued, more than 100 warships of Huang Zhong's fleet began to rush to the interception battlefield on Sun Shangxiang's side in batches, and 100 of the fleets that had remained unchanged before were assigned to the east side of Hormuz Bay to take over from Huang Zhong's fleet to continue the operation of wanton and indiscriminate bombardment of the fortress on the south bank of the rest of the fleet.

Not long after, Sun Shangxiang sent a telegram: "The twenty warships of the rest reinforcement fleet have been completely intercepted, and it is expected that all of them will be sunk within an hour." ”

After helping Lu Ren read the telegram, Lu Ren threw the book in his hand, and the people also stood up: "Let's drive the rest of the fleet!" At this point, I really don't believe that there will be any flowers on the rest side. ”

Zhou Yu shrugged his shoulders and didn't say anything. In fact, now, as Lu Ren said, it is only a matter of time before the fortress on the south bank is taken down, and it will not take long; The reinforcement fleet that rested in peace was also brought out, and within an hour it would be eaten by Sun Shangxiang and Huang Zhong together. What else can I do at this time? Sail the remaining twenty-two ships out as well? If that's the case, Lu Ren and Zhou Yu can't wait for it! This is a naval operation, and it is necessary to have enough mobile forces at sea to rest in peace, but what Hassan Keyin lacks most now is precisely the mobile forces at sea.

Not much to say, at this moment, Lu Ren's ship was surrounded by a bunch of warships and sailed towards the Bay of Hormuz, and Lu Ren also stood at the bow of the ship and looked ahead. Not long after, Zhou Yu came to Lu Ren's side, and Lu Ren asked, "Gong Jin, what do you think we should do next?" ”

Zhou Yu said: "Without him, consolidate the south bank and further gain a foothold." We have now laid the south shore, but mainly on the east side of the bay mouth, and we still have to take a few points on the west side. ”

Saying that, Zhou Yu smiled at Lu Ren and said, "This is one of the things you have to do right now, Lu Nanhai, and it is also a very good reason to force the Sassanid family to do something about the mad dogs of Parcisdo." ”

Lu Ren nodded: "Hassan Keyin has gathered most of his troops on the north bank, so this bone is really not so easy to gnaw. Moreover, my army came from across the ocean, and as soon as I arrived here, I immediately threw myself into the great battle, and after the battle, I had to let my soldiers rest well. ”

After lowering his head and thinking about it for a while, Lu Ren smiled and said, "And it's not appropriate to always let me gnaw hard bones alone." Now that the south bank has been conquered, the next step is to enter the north bank, and after the north bank is also taken, the fight to the hinterland of peace will depend on the army at hand, so that the strength of our army will be a little insufficient. There is nothing to say about the Sansa family who have to move now, and it is a bit inappropriate for the Roman side to sit and watch the play like this. However, it will take a little time for the news from here to reach Rome, and my soldiers will have a good rest during this time...... Gongjin, you say that's the case, right? ”

Zhou Yu also nodded and said, "That's exactly how it should be." ”

Lu Ren smiled again, then looked in the direction of rest, and said secretly in his heart: "Wan'er, I finally called, and I still made preparations in many ways. What will you do next to my onslaught? ”

After thinking about this, Lu Ren shook his head, lowered his head and pondered silently......

————————————————————

It will not be long before the battle in the Strait of Hormuz reaches the city of Rest. At this time, above the resting court, the crowd was also silent.

There was talk of the loss of the forts on the southern bank of Hormuz, which would have been an excellent excuse for some to attack Hassankeyne, but this time no one dared to make such a noise. Because as early as before, when Kass Yili decided to transfer half of the troops from Hassan Keyin, Hassan Keyin repeatedly stated that this soldier must not be transferred, and if it is transferred, Lu Ren's main army is likely to be overwhelmed immediately, and Hassan Keyin will lead to a bad result due to the lack of troops in his hands.

The words of the people are in the front, and the current situation is just as Hassan Keyin said, and it is a bit unreasonable to blame Hassan Kein. If you insist on finding someone to blame it, you can only blame it on the head of Kasy Eli, who insisted on ordering the transfer of troops at that time.

It's just that if it had been earlier, there might have been someone who dared to stand up and accuse Casserie, but this kind of people are basically Casserie's political enemies, or simply the undercover agents of the Sassanid family buried in the Resting Palace. But don't forget, some time ago, Kass Eli had a big killing ring and cut down all such a bunch of people, so where did the rest of these people dare to speak out to accuse Cass Eli?

The rest of these people are either more neutral or biased towards Cassily, and it is unlikely that they will disagree with Cassly in terms of political positions, so when Cassily asked them if they should transfer troops, they also followed Kasily's intention and said that they should transfer troops to Parcis. You've said this yourself, where are you embarrassed to stand up now and say that Kath Yili made a mistake in transferring troops before?

Again, their approval of Cassily's transfer of troops at that time was not all in accordance with Cassily's wishes, but more because most of them had more or less benefits in the Palsis region. This is also normal, in order to erase the influence of the Sassanid family in the Palsis region, Cass Eli had a lot of preferential policies for the Palsis region, and these people also had a lot of investment in Palsis in order to get more benefits for themselves through these preferential policies.

In other words, these people would have been in favor of Cassily's transfer of troops to Parsis at that time, and they also had a layer of intent to protect their investments and profits in the Parsis region. To put it mildly, this is a typical situation where no one has a clean underneath their buttocks, which makes it all the more so that no one dares to speak out against Cass Eli at this time.

The entire Dormition Hall was silent, and Kasly herself was sulking from the Regent's throne. If you want to say that you regret the transfer of Hassankyin's soldiers, there are some regrets in this kind of thought, but Kasily's heart knows too well that Palsis's side can't go on any longer, so this half of the soldiers must also be transferred. To be honest, at that time, Kasi Yili still had some luck, thinking that Lu Ren would return to Huaxia to deal with those things, and he would not be able to return to West Asia in a short time, but the final result was that Lu Ren did not care about the major changes in Huaxia, and insisted on continuing to attack Anxi.

Because of this, at this time, Cass Yili began to have some vague doubts about Wan'er's judgment. But it was only vaguely, because at that time, Kass Eli asked Wan'er if she could transfer troops, and Wan'er only hesitated, and did not express her clear approval or opposition to Kasy Eli, which made Kath Eli a little difficult to say anything, after all, the final decision was made by you Kasi Eli herself......
